There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Trev Wilkinson told me they are made to the same spec as the 1950's Fender pickups......just made in china using newer machines,.

And the Horizon, oh my.

After doing some work on my Sons LTD I`m keen on getting one. The stock pick ups sound good surprisingly.

Neck on the V2 is a little slimmer. It might have different tuning machines from memory.

Also, for some reason, the V52's tend to come with a great setup out the box. The V2 may need some work.

Quite like the look of these for a cheap P90 machine:

There's a white one in the Tron RS. Played it and it seemed nice and resonant. Neck could be a bit fatter, but I could probably live with it. Keen to try the Satin Cherry one; the white is a gloss finish.
